TGiF 2011 - Ukulele Week 2

In Stitches for TGiF

Check out these fantastic bags a small group of children had the opportunity make for our latest cycle of TGiF. Click on the videos made by Rupert and Celine to see how they were made.

A massive thanks to Rach Evans who came in to help us make these groovy bags.

TGiF -Science with Mr Hull

Last Friday some of us went to Mr Hull for enrichment. He showed us an experiment with an empty teabag and a naked flame.
Before you watch, can you make a prediction of what will happen to the teabag when he lights it?




Now you've watched the video can you explain why this happened?

NB: Please ask an adult if you want to try this at home!!
